Dude?
Have you spent any time with a MAC? Do you have any idea how much work is done on these things? The main argument to using a Mac is that it allows one to be productive quicker. The idea is the Mac just gets out of the way of the user and allows you to get work done. No IRQ's, I/O Addresses, etc.
As an example, I'm an MCSE 4.0 & 2000. I'm UNIX ceritified, Novell ceritified and only used OS 9.2 for about 3 months. Even I could see the appeal. If I ever scrape together enough money, my next system WILL be a dual proc PowerMac running OS X 10.2 with Virtual PC (98, 2000, XP).
The fact that these systems are also more attractive is just icing on the cake. And what's wrong with liking the icing? You've already got the cake, so why not enjoy the icing too?
